1. Event Title
SLD 30 Spaceport of the Future - Industry Day 2026
2. Background & Strategic Vision
Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB) is undergoing a fundamental shift in operations, transitioning into a high-capacity spaceport. To support a dramatic and sustained surge in national security and commercial launch cadence, Space Launch Delta (SLD) 30 Spaceport of the Future (SOTF) is spearheading an unparalleled, large-scale infrastructure recapitalization effort. This represents a massive, multi-phase investment portfolio aimed at completely overhauling base infrastructure to eliminate operational bottlenecks and enable "launch on demand" capabilities.
